  • An Econometric Approach to Applied Microeconomic Theories: the Case of Natural Resource-Based Industries
    An Econometric Approach to Applied Microeconomic Theories: The Case of Natural Resource-Based Industries by Hakan Uslu A dissertation submitted to the Graduate Faculty of Auburn University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Auburn, Alabama May 7, 2016 Keywords: Economic well-being, Demand, Cost Copyright 2016 by Hakan Uslu Approved by Larry Teeter, Professor, School of Forestry and Wildlife Sciences Conner Bailey, Professor, Department of Agricultural Economics and Rural Sociology Duha Altindag, Assistant Professor, Department of Economics Yaoqi Zhang, Professor, School of Forestry and Wildlife Sciences Abstract The forest products industry of Alabama has a dominant role in the state’s economy. The industry has experienced a general downturn in production, employment and number of operating establishments since the mid-1990s. In this study, the possible determinants of the decline in the forest products industry of Alabama are discussed. Moreover, economic impact analyses are used to investigate how the contribution of the industry to the economy of Alabama has changed since the mid-1990s. Additionally, econometric analyses are employed to estimate the relationship between the decline in the industry and changes in the factors behind the decline. Furthermore, additional econometric analyses are employed to estimate the relationship between economic well-being and forest sector dependence in the counties of Alabama. Results showed that the forest products industry of Alabama has lost many employees, production, mills, and contribution to the economy of the state between 1996 and 2012. There is statistically significant relationship between increases in cost of production and decreases in demand for the forest products and the downturn in the industry.

  • Economic Impacts of the Aquaculture Industry in Alabama in 2005
    Economic Impacts of the Aquaculture Industry in Alabama in 2005 by Tom Stevens, Alan Hodges, and David Mulkey January 12, 2007 University of Florida, Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences, Food and Resource Economics Department P.O. Box 110240 University of Florida, Gainesville, Florida 32611-0240 352-392-1845 [email protected] economicimpact.ifas.ufl.edu Prepared under contract for Auburn University, Department of Agriculture Economics and Rural Sociology. Economic Impacts of the Aquaculture Industry in Alabama, 2005. Executive Summary The positive economic impacts of aquaculture on the State of Alabama in 2005 were evaluated using an IMPLAN® input-output computer model of the State’s economy. This analysis was facilitated by the recent publication of the 2005 Census of Aquaculture by the U.S. Department of Agriculture, and cost of production data provided by the Alabama Cooperative Extension System and Auburn University. Aquaculture in Alabama has grown rapidly since the 1980s, from nominal sales of less than $8 million (M) in 1981, to more than $102 M in 2005. In 2005 there were 201 aquaculture operations in Alabama with 594 paid and unpaid workers. Using data from the Census of Aquaculture and the Alabama Cooperative Extension System, an IMPLAN model of the State of Alabama was modified to more accurately represent its aquaculture industry. Economic impacts were estimated under the assumption that 95.6 percent of Alabama’s aquaculture production was sold outside the State. Direct, indirect and induced impacts for the State of Alabama were estimated for output, value-added, labor income, other property type income, indirect business taxes and employment.

Atwill Director of Graduate Studies in History *Signatures are on file in the Graduate School iii ABSTRACT This dissertation examines conflicting visions for natural resource use and economic development in the American South in the years between the end of the Civil War and the beginning of the Great Depression. Emancipation toppled the region’s economy and led many Southerners to try to establish a “New South” to replace their antebellum plantation society. Their task was unprecedented, and necessitated completely reimagining the economic structure of the entire region. Although most Southerners believed that the region was blessed with abundant natural resources, there were many competing ideas about how these resources should be used in order to achieve prosperity. By examining how these different visions shaped New South economic development, this dissertation reconsiders a longstanding interpretation of the postbellum American South, and provides a fresh historical perspective on the challenges of sustainable development in underdeveloped places worldwide.

AN INPUT-OUTPUT MODEL OF ALABAMA'S ECONOMY: Understanding Forestry's Role PETER TRENCHI, III and WARREN A. FLICK* INTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVES THE FOREST ECONOMIES of Alabama and other southern states have expanded rapidly in recent years. The natural and human resources of the region are well suited to the needs of the forest industry, and these industries have grown to posi- tions of economic leadership in many southern states. In Alabama, the forest industry now has the largest value added of any manufacturing industry, which is quite signifi- cant because value added is considered to be the best single indicator of an industry's economic contribution to a region (24)1. The forest industry's value added has grown at a com- pound annual rate of 11.6 percent since 1960, which shows forestry to be among the State's most rapidly growing major industries (6). Recently announced expansions indicate rapid growth will continue in future years.
